My build machine runs Ubuntu 11.04 (Natty) with a 64 bit kernel. To get the deps needed to build OOo, I used apt-get build-dep on LibreOffice package (as this is what Ubuntu is packaged with at this time) I figured they're still fairly similar. I did need to install the ccache package separately.
I passed configure nothing special (followed the wiki's directions). Below is roughly what I did to get it building, (I am going from memory here. Dug around my command history to see what I did). svn co ... path/to/source cd path/to/source ./configure ./bootstrap mkdir /path/to/ccache/dir source ./LinuxX86-64Env.Set.sh export CCACHE_DIR="/path/to/ccache/dir" ccache -M 2G -F 100000 export CXX="ccache g++" export CC="ccache gcc" build -P8 --all (my build box is a Quad Core, with 6 GB Ram) About an hour later, maybe two. I followed the wiki's instructions to confirm my build worked (didn't do a whole lot of testing), and it did. These are more some notes, needs some polish before it ends up as anything official in my opinion.
